60 SEA TROUT. 



July. In that river they average from two to five 

 pounds' weight. But the Tabasintac, a stream half-way 

 between Chatham and Bathurst, is the most famoup 

 sea trout river of New Brunswick. I do not know of 

 any sea trout along the southern shore of New Bruns- 

 wick. 



The scientific designation of this fish is not yet settled, 

 although the United States Fish Commission have given 

 it their attention, and it is to be dreaded that, numerous 

 as he still is, the sea-trout will have disappeared before we 

 know what to call him. 



Canada and the Provinces have been immensely devel- 

 oped since much of the above was written; travel is 

 easier, pleasanter, quicker, and accommodations better. 

 But with this improvement have come fishing restrictions, 

 license fees, and government interference, which more 

 than counterbalance the advantages.
